Ok, I'll bite. What the hell is Trey Gowdy? Like, what species?

I want to live in a country where they look down on men in Business suits.

I will die first

Just when you think they can't desecrate a sacred Native American mountain more

White-breasted Nuthatch fledglings informing Dad (on left) that they are quite hungry!

yeah because the one lesson from Uvalde is "more cops could've stopped this"

Apparently you can develop an allergic reaction to tick bites. I have done so. Worst achievement ever

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

Samuel Alito hit by new scandal as son found secretly working for Trump's Treasury: report www.rawstory.com/samuel-alito...

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

Punk is ideology. The music is secondary. I'm a punk, grew up a punk, listen to more soul these days than punk, yet I'm still a fucking punk🖕

Gonna look a lot less fun when it has a gun. Just sayin'

So this woodpecker fledgeling dropped out of a tree right in front of my mower and almost got mulched. Stuck him back up on the tree. Last I saw him he was contentedly looking for snacks behind pieces of tree bark☺️

Delaney Hall ICE prison in New Jersey is a privately owned/operated immigration detention (prison) with a multi-$B U.S. contract. Immigrants are being held without due process, feed rancid food, severely mistreated and are on a hunger strike, while protesters are being attacked. Do not look away!

The color on this iris reminds me of the ink from a mimeograph machine

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

ICE are just outright assaulting people. NAZI ICE member jumped and punched this person, as he threw them to the ground. They're running around like crazed animals, attacking protestors. livestream credit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNrH...

We must not forget. The killing of up to 14 million humans by illegally erasing USAID is happening now. Congress could stop it. The courts could stop it. We must stop it.

We're literally and figuratively cooked

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Snapping turtle crossing my road this morning, so I moved him to the other side. Pro tip for moving a snapping turtle: don't. I usually pick them up midway down either side of the shell, but if you do that you have to be ok with losing some meat. It hasn't happened yet, but sooner or later...

The other two have flown the coop. This one's a bit slower

“In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers” medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

I just watched video of 5 ICE agents abducting a guy from a courthouse in my area of Massachusetts. Periodic reminder that ICE hasn't gone anywhere. They are still here and still terrorizing immigrants.

Took the dogs for a walk and missed two leaving the nest. They're kicking around the yard with one parent and the other is still feeding this one.

All grown up and ready to go! They've been smacking each other in the face all day long trying out their wings😂

Not a single mention of the climate crisis anywhere. You would think extreme weather conditions would be a good opportunity to educate the public, but clearly not.
